4 location business with the same number - should I create tracking numbers?

[jacobnorris]

I am working on listings for a company with four locations - all with the same number. Should I use the main number for all locations or would it be better to create tracking numbers for the other 3 locations?

It's no problem to use the same number for all locations. It can sometimes cause Google to flag the profiles as duplicates if they all have the same name, phone, and website url. One thing you can do to mitigate this if it happens is to link the different profiles to unique location pages instead of the homepage. Then 2 of the 4 primary fields will be differentiated.

It can cause issue with some citation vendors. We couldn’t add our locations to Yext as they were sharing the same phone number. If they get suspended, the telephone number may deny the reinstatement. Sign up call rail.
